Pros: It's great to work somewhere that actually helps the world, and everyone believes in the mission. Almost every employer is creative themselves—being an incredible musician, comic book author, or YouTuber, etc. It's impossible to find this anywhere else today.

Cons: The execs seemed incapable of creating an engineering team they liked. Engineering Managers and CTOs had incredible turnover, with several Eng Manager layoffs during my tenure. One CTO they hired was like a parody of a CTO you would find in Dilbert or the Silicon Valley TV show. He had us make posters about how we felt about the company's values for half a day. The fact that they hired and kept him on for a full year shows how oblivious they are about creating a competent engineering environment.

Pros: Great product, interesting work, valuable mission

Cons: The CEO has a deep mistrust of engineering and does not feel that they work hard enough, no matter how many features you ship or bugs you fix. If you are not visible in the office, you might as well not be working. Senior leadership is inexperienced and overreacts to trivial problems.

Pros: The people are great! They're kind and the good kinda weird. I've been here a long time and the magic is still there. If you care about creators or online communities, you should really apply!

Cons: The product org has never been strong. I have no idea how we've come this far. It's an absolute miracle. Really looking forward to the new CPO we're hiring.
